Equinox presents – The 25th – Box Set Out Now!

Ohhhh yesssssss…. It’s time to celebrate the 25th release on Equinox Records! We are so happy to finally release this neat box set package that contains a 7inch, a custom USB stick and an audio cassette.

Buddy Peace & Phonatic provided us with two of the dopest megamixes possibly ever made! 2 x 25 minutes of action packed Equinox sound – cut up, edited, remixed. Whether you are familiar with the Equinox catalogue or not – you have to check this out!

Generous people as we all are, we want to share these mixes with you FOR FREE and also want to encourage you to SHARE THEM with your friends, to post them on your blog, or whatever. Please just copy the following link:

Buddy Peace Vs. Phonatic – The Equinox Megamixes

and/or link to the official release page:

http://www.e-q-x.net/releases/various-artists-equinox-presents-the-25th/

You can also post the links to our mixcloud or soundcloud accounts.

But thats that not all folks! Equinox Records wouldn’t be called Equinox Records if there wasn’t a dope piece of vinyl included in the package as well. Therefore, Part II of this gorgeous package is a bunch of unreleased remixes from the label archive. Amongst these are tunes from the never released remix EP that was planned for the 2008 release “One Year & A Day – A Sound Exposure Vol.2“. The A side of the vinyl contains Deadpan Darling’s “Laugh Track” remixed by Deckard. And on the flip, 2econd Class Citizen’s classic “Wishing Well” gets reworked by The Raincoatman and Vangel from Canada. Further tracks on the digital version include “A Year And A Day” by The Peddlers (with Roy Phillips), remixed by Twistedlogic & Pesticyde, “A New Day” by 2econd Class Citizen this time remixed by DJ Phonatic and a new version of Asup’s “Untitled” by lodsb. If you are not into buying nice looking boxsets you buy these tracks seperately on itunes and many other download stores:

iTunes
Juno Download

Last but not least, as Part III of the box set, we are happy to release the 2007 tour video that features incredible unseen live footage by Ceschi, Noah23, The Dedicated Beatheads & 2econd Class Citizen. The 50 minute movie is definitely fun to watch and is available on the ultra limited 2 GB USB Stick that comes along with the first 50 copies of the box set. However, those who buy the cheaper normal package (without the USB) will receive a free download code for the whole video.

So yeah, that’s it folks. Hope we’ll soon be able to hit number 50!

Again, here are the links to buy the limited box set:

Equinox Records presents:
The ‘Strange Citizens’ Tour

Featuring:
Ceschi (USA – Equinox Records / Fake Four)
2econd Class Citizen (London, UK – Equinox Records)
Buddy Peace (London, UK – Strange Famous Records)

October 6th – 16th 2010

Ladies, gentlemen and kinfolk, we would like to formally invite you to our three man show. Taking place over ten days in October 2010, we will be taking our music on the road to selected locations in Europe, to bring you our delightfully demented and deliciously powerful blend of beats and rhymes.

We bring you Ceschi, the one man band who is as comfortable freaking a solo set as he is working with any combination of his amazing group of friends (such as the Fake Four squadron, for example). Having toured and worked with Sole, Mykah 9 and Awol One (to name but a few), Ceschi displays the elements of rap which are always begging to be set free- uniqueness, creativity and pure originality. With a heavy hitting foundation of acoustic folk and abstract hip hop, expect a skilful and hugely entertaining presentation of what hip hop music can do when it is gently pushed in the right direction. His fantastic current album, ‘The One Man Band Broke Up’, is out now on Equinox Records and making much noise.

2econd Class Citizen is right up there riding shotgun (in a triple barrel sense), strapped with a punishing array of dusty drum breaks, sweet sample psychedelia and two very busy hands. With a wide sample-based repertoire which often extends into live instrumentation and areas far beyond conventional instrumental beat based music, 2CC’s live set incorporates heavy manipulation and extreme head nod potential, providing a vibrant and hefty showcase of bitter-sweet but straight up bumping productions. His work and stage time with Noah23, Ceschi, Nosaj thing, Ugly Duckling and even prog-rock legends Gong give some indication of the standards of dopeness you can expect from 2CC.

Buddy Peace is also in the building. Currently signed to Strange Famous Records, the label run by indie hip hop legend Sage Francis, Buddy has some treats to share with you. From a background of DJing and prolific mixtape production, he has been producing for a good while and has produced/scratched/DJ’d for Buck 65, Sage Francis, B Dolan, 2Mex and Prince Po to name a couple. The Buddy live show mushes together the DJ and production elements, with live MPC drums and programming with a very turntable mind-set, and you can surely expect some head-pounding and cheerfully savage drums, cuts and invention which bring out the creative and rugged side of hip hop music.

We would be honoured by your company. We will not disappoint you. We will be very happy to see you. The Strange Citizen tour will make October of 2010 a very wonderful month indeed. Let’s catch up…
